Troy Hooker’s debut delivers a heartfelt and imaginative tale that blends classic fantasy with a touch of faith. Sure, there are signs of a first-time author, but the interesting characters and powerful story more than make up for it. Fans of Percy Jackson and The Wheel of Time will feel right at home. Clean, engaging, and perfect for readers of all ages.
Bonus points for the audiobook—James’s narration truly brings the world to life—and for the custom art chapter images. Well done, Troy!
Now I need to go pick up Book 2!
